Building, operating and securing the Global Information Grid (GIG) for the Department of Defense is a complex and ongoing challenge. To meet this challenge, a wide range of directives, instructions, manuals and other policies has been published. Unfortunately, the breadth and scope of these policies is such that being able to locate the appropriate policy and the latest version of that policy is not always easy. To make that a little easier for DoD’s information assurance (IA) professionals, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (DASD) for Cyber Identity and Information Assurance (CIIA) requested the Defense-wide Information Assurance Program (DIAP) develop a chart that pulled together all of the IA policies into a single document. That chart appears below.
